LINEAR

Linear Technology Corporation, now part of Analog Devices, Inc., was a prominent semiconductor company known for designing, manufacturing, and marketing high-performance analog integrated circuits. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Milpitas, California, Linear Technology focused on developing analog integrated circuits that provided precise and reliable performance across various applications.

The company specialized in a broad range of analog components, including operational amplifiers (op-amps), voltage regulators, power management ICs, data converters (such as analog-to-digital converters and digital-to-analog converters), RF and wireless circuits, and other analog signal processing devices.

Linear Technology's analog products were widely used in industries such as automotive, industrial, communications, aerospace, and consumer electronics. Their components were crucial in enabling efficient power management, accurate signal processing, and reliable performance in electronic systems.

In 2017, Analog Devices completed the acquisition of Linear Technology, merging the portfolios of both companies to offer an extensive range of high-performance analog and mixed-signal products to address the needs of various industries and applications.
